Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I have a big problem, i published an update on my map with updated thumbnail - 1853-8670-8282. When i published it i didnt get any warnings that my map wont be featured in discovery as usual when you thumbnail is too similiar to other maps. There is multiple reasons why i am sure that my map got shadow banned from discovery without warning. 1. As usual all my maps is getting in discovery every 4 days, as long as i update it, and i did u huge update this time and spend a lot of time developing it (So it should get featured in discovery as usual). 2. When i wanted to publish another update on this map, i got a yellow thumbnail warning even without changing it (But if a reupload the same image the warning disappears). So i guess there is a bug, that you dont get a warning when you have a similiar thumbnail, but you still getting banned from discovery. And there is another bug, even if you get a warning, you can reupload the same image and warning disappears, leaving you uncertain if your map can be in discovery. Sorry for my English btw
